* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The original version of the movie with Creator/JoanRivers and Creator/ElliottGould instead of Creator/BobcatGoldthwait and Creator/JohnCandy respectively, which was screened to test audiences in 1987 and apparently received such poor reactions that the entire film was hastily re-written, reshot, and re-dubbed with the new cast. It's pretty safe to say that if ''this'' ended up being the film that Creator/WarnerBros felt more confident releasing to the public, the original version will probably never be released to the public through official means.

** As mentioned above, the initial version of the movie with Creator/ElliottGould's voicing Don and Creator/JoanRivers playing the lead human was finished by 1987, but test audiences hated it so much that the movie was re-shot with Creator/BobcatGoldthwait and all of Don's lines and segments in the script were completely re-written by executive producer Andy Breckman in an effort to make the film funnier, and Creator/JohnCandy was brought on to re-record it. John [[HarpoDoesSomethingFunny completely ignored the new script, however,]] and improvised all of his lines.
** Also the case on the set itself, with the cast and crew supposedly being subjected to exhaustingly long shooting schedules in order to expedite the reshoots and get the revised version of the film out sooner. That's not even mentioning the rampant abuse of the many on-set animals, as Creator/GilbertGottfried revealed in an interview that the main horse was beaten and whipped in the mouth repeatedly before each take in order to get the lip movements that would be [[HongKongDub (poorly)]] dubbed over.
